PHILADELPHIA, June 2.
special to the Washington Bulletin saws :
The Presisent Is arranging for an extensive
trlp through the country on his return to the
White House. The President has seen but
little Of the United States during hi. life
time and travelled but little outside of New
YORK, and has never been in the west at all.
DE has made up his mind that it would be to
ms personal and political advantage to make
an elaborate journey this year. His wife
persuaded him to do so. As the trip is for
pleasure several democratic politicians. chief
among whom is Postmaster Villas. urged him
as matter of practical politics, and have
told him that the democrats in the west and
northwest are anxious to see him and his
presence IN some States may have an encou-
raging effect on party organization.
The cabinet officers remarked to him be-
fore his departure to the Adirondacks that in
year of peace and prosperity like this he
could make such tour as Munroe made in
1918, AMI the remark had pleasing effect on
the Presidents mind.
III ne can make arrangements he will leave
ashington the first week in August and
Will probably remain away until the first OF
October. He will travel in a special car
containing members of his immediate house
hold and two OF three cabinet officers HIS
intention is 10 90 across the continent to the
Pacific coast. The principal cities on the
route will be visited. in Ohio, Indiana, Hi
nois, Missouri and Minnesota.
Postmaster General Villas is particularly
anxious that he should make good inpres
sion in those States in time for the fall elec-
tiun.
The President is curious to explore the
territories along the line of the Northern Pa,
ci1c railroad. and it is now on his plan to 60
as far as Portland Oregon. lie said that he
would very much like to steam up the Pacific
ocean as far as Alaska, although told that
this would be construed as violation of the
precedent which allows no President to 60
outside the country during his term of office
At any rate Mrs. Cleveland will make the
trip while the President with Lamont, spends
ten days camping in the Yellowstone region.
1t is probable that the President and party
will visit Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Chicago.
Milwaukee, ST. Paul, possibly Portland, Ore.
gon. and San Francisco, Omaha, St. Louis.
Louisville, Cincinnati and other important
cities. Postmaster General Villas, who is
perhaps the most ardent and industrious Sec
ond termer in the administration, will, when
the proper time comes, leave nothing undone
to work up the journey for all it is worth
as the swing around the political circle. The
democratic politicians in the various States
through which the presidential party will
pass will be instructed to stir up popular en-
thusiasm in order 10 bring about good effect
on the autumn election. The President is
determined that the journey shall be made
entirely at his personal expense. He does
not accept any favors but will pay for every.
thing. The trip will cost him not less than
$4,000 for 60 days, over which it will extend.
